> Also the dark side of things is that if the US signs a treaty, that treaty becomes US law.

"Dark" only in the sense that autocrats would prefer a simpler strategy and I think some American dignitaries go abroad and don't like having to say "Well, if we can get it approved by the voters or Congress or whoever". I think it's the government official's equivalent of "I'd love to go get a beer but I have to get my wife's permission, let me call her." Mugabe can decide for himself whether he'd like to get a beer with you.

US treaties have to be ratified by Congress, and Congress is the legislative body with the authority to pass laws. This is reasonable.

> Is the UN philosophically correct?

No, not remotely. Autocratic plans from FDR, executed by the other True Believers in Social Order after his death, the same people that we have to thank for the CIA and all of the other extrajudicial end-runs and attempts to engineer society by imposing top-down structure in the US.
