A Declaration is not a treaty. A Convention is.

We are bound to oppose torture under our own laws, American values, and individual human consciousness which supersede international decrees. However, in this case it coincides well with the UN treaty. We are not bound to definitions and classifications the UN declares.

Its also part of the Geneva Conventions....and the US is a signatory.
