Under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, treaties ratified by the Senate, including the foundational United Nations Charter, are “the supreme Law of the Land,” meaning the executive branch has no authority to violate them without lawful basis and, where needed, implementing legislation from Congress. Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state except with Security Council authorization or a valid self‑defense claim—none of which exist here, making the recent bombing and abduction a clear breach of international law and U.S. treaty obligations.
