I do not have any idea of what you mean by "global sovereignty". As long as the Congress is able to define the extent of our treaty obligations, our sovereignty as a nation is unimpaired. Of course, as a matter of prudence and even honor, we ordinarily do not unilaterally renege on treaty commitments.

Treaties between sovereign nations exist to reflect the overlapping interests of sovereign nations. Yes, traditionally speaking they do. However, traditionally speaking, treaties apply only to those nations that sign them. The transnationalists are now trying to create a new class of world government organizations, such as the ICC, that claim jurisdiction over everybody whether you have signed the treaty or not. This is a new and novel concept in international law, which the United States is resisting as a novel infringement on its sovereignty.
