Article VI
... This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

under the authority of the United States

Well, there you have it. A treaty which purports to authorize the government to behave un-Constitutionally is not made under the authority of the United States, because it is impossible by definition for an un-Constitutional act to be contained within that authority.
