There is absolutely zero ways for WhatsApp and other to comply unless there is a back door. If the Senate votes on this treaty then it has the exact effect of legislation.

Treaty would not include backdoor.

It would be just access to encrypted messages. Unless the law enforcement has access to the phone used to send the message, encrypted messages are useless.
