The U.S. ratified the ICCPR in 1992. Upon ratification, the ICCPR became the
"supreme law of the land" under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution,
which gives acceded treaties the status of federal law. The U.S. must comply with and
implement the provisions of the treaty just as it would any other domestic law, subject
to Reservations, Understandings and Declarations (RUDs) entered when it ratified the
treaty. Though the government retains the obligation to comply with the ICCPR, one
of the RUDs attached by the U.S. Senate is a "not self-executing" Declaration,
intended to limit the ability of litigants to sue in court for direct enforcement of the
treaty.
