It pretends to be, but no.
I know that. In fact, I've known that for some time.
For example...2003...
The Vienna Convention is in force for 81 nation-states, not including the United States.

There may be replies from earlier than that as well.
That's just a "for example".

Well until 2009, I didn’t know about the signature provisions of the VCLT, despite having an interest in treaty law as regards environmental regulations dating back to the mid 1990s. I was well aware back then of the problems with the punctuation of the Supremacy Clause. That and the matter of how a treaty is ratified both need Constitutional amendments. I’d like to see the same standard for ratification of a treaty as for amending the Constitution itself.

I read the post and what you say on the thread. I think you’re missing one thing: The UN has no power unless we give it to them. The entire reason the UN exists is that American plutocrats use it as a way to get around the limits on enumerated powers in the Constitution so as to play their crooked games via the Federal courts. We “ask permission” in order to transfer power to them for use at a later date.
