This is why treaties like this are so dangerous. A treaty really should be about matters of state, and the conduct between states. Instead, "treaties" like this are really a means of creating legislation outside of the elected legislatures that should be dealing with this.
Ratifying these sorts of laws through a treaty process has the power to abrogate a state's constitutional, judicial, and legislative laws - disenfranchising the people. Its the consequence of "rule of lawyers" instead of "rule of law".
Politicians engaging in these sorts of shenanigans really should not be welcome in polite company.
