1) The UN doesn't rent out the General Assembly. It's not the local Kiwanis Club. This was, regardless of empty seats, a session of the UN General Assembly.
2) United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and President of the General Assembly Sam Kutesa, and another person, a female - I forget her title, were all in attendance. Why would they bother with being there if it wasn't an official General Assembly session?
Just as with the US Congress, not all Senators are present each and every day, not all heads of state are at the UN General Assembly each and every day.
