Let's be careful, here. Our beloved Constitution says that any treaty made under US authority is the supreme law of the land.

Article VI, Sec 2: "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."
