Interner en République : le cas de la France en guerre d’Algérie
Abstract
During the Algerian War, the french government used exceptional measures against the Algerian nationalists, like, for example, internment. That is an arbitrary practise, in a dictatorship, but the republican regime is characterized by three important differences : this practise remains unusual ; there must be a legal system to organize internment ; writing, speaking about the camps or protesting against them is possible.
