No.

While treaties, properly ratified by the US Senate, can trump law, they cannot trump Constitutional guarantees. Ever.

Only Constitutional Amendments, either via the Congressional/State ratification process or a Convention, can do that.

No offense to you but IIRC on my reading in days gone by, Treaties can. I’d have to revisit it to be sure.

I’ll have to go back and look at the actual language.
