A critical discourse on security is more complex than ever and requires a multilevel approach able to integrate all its deeply interconnected dimensions. The seemingly – but distant – notions of political and personal security are expressions of the same security paradigm, in which Stability Police Units (SPUs) and targeted policies play a leading role.
As a result of Russia’s aggression, the responsibilities of Ukrainian Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) have significantly expanded, including up to combat missions.
After the liberation of occupied territories by the Ukrainian Defence Forces, law enforcers take over, coordinating and cooperating with civilian and military institutions. They gradually restore the Rule of Law, de-escalate tensions, and (re)build trust, fostering a safe and secure environment.
To better understand the twenty-year history of the Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units, we must begin with the birth of the concept of "Stability Policing" internationally, its evolution, and discuss the challenges, particularly the role of Italy and the Carabinieri within this context. To do so, we must go back to the 1990s and the deployment of traditional military forces in situations outside of conventional warfare.
Throughout the twentieth century, the study of international organizations saw the consolidation of distinct theoretical approaches, including unionism, functionalism, and intergovernmentalism. These theories provided different frameworks for analysing the growing complexity of international structures and their impact on global dynamics. In particular, the emergence of an increasingly complex bureaucracy, as emphasized by the sociologist Max Weber, was a central aspect of these organizations, reflecting the evolution of modern governance models.
The technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) functions as a transformative power which affects security and cultural heritage preservation (C.H.P). The dual-use capabilities of AI technology create essential ethical and operational challenges. AI technology protects cultural assets through its monitoring capabilities and digitization efforts and predictive threat analysis but it becomes a significant threat when used to launch cyberattacks or spread misinformation or target cultural sites precisely.
Abstract

Abstract
This article will outline several techniques that may assist law enforcement personnel in detecting potential lies, particularly during interrogations. While current scientific consensus holds that no method (polygraph included) can reliably detect deception, certain strategies may help identify information that appears inconsistent or artificial. These indicators, while not definitive, could suggest with a reasonable degree of probability.
