I understand that's what the video is titled. But Stoneking did not address the UN General Assembly. He addressed about a couple dozen people in the UN's main chamber (most of whom were fellow speakers for the event). The General Assembly involves the member nations' UN ambassadors holding a legislative session. This was not the case. Just like with the US House of Representatives. If you give a 5 minute speech on the House floor on a Tuesday morning when 12 Congressmen or their aides are in the chamber, you haven't actually "addressed Congress."
So no, Stoneking did not address the UN General Assembly. This is misinformation that is being used to make this event into something that it wasn't.
