| Summary/Abstract |
THERE ARE many organizations on the international arena that are in one way or another involved in combating terrorism. Cooperation on the global level proceeds within the framework of the UN and its specialized agencies, Interpol and the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT); the OSCE is also becoming actively involved in this process. In the Eurasian space, there are regional organizations, including the Antiterrorism Center of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS ATC), the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (RATS SCO), the Eurasian Group for the Prevention and Suppression of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (EaG), and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper traces the history of international police cooperation through the development of collaborative initiatives that various police actors have introduced since the mid-nineteenth century to address transnational crime on a multilateral basis. The beginnings of international police cooperation efforts were largely rooted in anti-anarchist policies pursued by European governments in order to protect the status quo. Police collaboration largely halted during the world wars, but the second half of the twentieth century witnessed an explosion of international cooperation mechanisms in policing as most states came to recognise the importance of multilateral action against transnational crime. International policing now encompasses sophisticated, official and far-reaching channels of information exchange and joint policing strategies and operations. Police cooperation has gone through cycles, however: the political motivation that originally encouraged foreign police agencies to share information on alleged perpetrators and their activities in due course took second place to specifically criminal investigations, but in today's security-driven policy environment the political dimension is once again on the rise, as police strategies are aimed at terrorist groups

| Summary/Abstract |
THE DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION of architectural monuments and works of art has a history that runs into millennia. The ravaging of Rome by the Gauls in 390 B.C., the demolition of churches during the 17th-century civil war in England, the methodical bombing of historic buildings during World War II, the destruction of cultural monuments in northern Cyprus after the Turkish invasion of it in 1974, the 1991 bombardment of the old part of Dubrovnik, a city that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has had on its World Heritage list since 1979, the smashing by the Taliban of two giant statues of Buddha in Afghanistan's Bamyan mountains in 2001, looting and illegal archaeological excavations in Iraq after 2003, and the destruction of cultural objects by Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq, Syria and Libya1 are just a few examples of the outrages that have deprived world civilization of cultural gems and have supplied the black market with antiquities.
