I do not believe that the Senate could override the Constitution by getting Belize to go along with them in 1950, either.

Not talking about that aspect (supremacy of it vs constitution), but this and related stuff with treaties vs federal law:

> The enforceability of treaties was further limited in the 2008 Supreme Court decision in Medellín v. Texas, which held that even if a treaty may constitute an international commitment, it is not binding domestic law unless it has been implemented by an act of Congress or is itself explicitly "self-executing".[26] Law scholars called the ruling "an invisible constitutional change" that departed from both longtime historical practice and the plain language of the Supremacy Clause.[27]
