This page is about the usage and history of the terms concentration camp, internment camp and internment. For a listing of individual camps, please see List of concentration and internment camps.
The word "internment" is generally used to refer to the imprisonment or confinement of people, commonly in large groups, without due process of law and a trial. It also refers to the practice of neutral countries in time of war to hold belligerent armed forces and equipment which enter their territory, under the Second Hague Convention.
Early civilisations such as the Assyrians used forced resettlement of populations as a means of controlling territory, but it was not until much later that records exist of groups of civilians being concentrated into large prison camps. The most notorious of such prison camps were the Nazi concentration camps.
