In this edition of UN Plaza, I speak with Charli Carpenter, a political scientist and human security analyst at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.  (She also blogs!) We chat about human security, the new Security Council report on Somalia; a new gender entity taking shape at the UN, and what Battlestar Gallactica can teach the United Nations. Enjoy!
