The rule was designed to prevent treaty violations by state governments. From the Founding until World War II, treaty supremacy and self-execution were independent doctrines. Treaty supremacy was an aspect of federal supremacy; it governed the relationship between treaties and state law. Self-execution governed the division of power over treaty implementation between Congress and the president. In 1945, the United States ratified the U.N. Charter, which obligates nations to promote 'human rights - for all without distinction as to race.' In 1950, a California court applied the Charter's human rights provisions and the traditional treaty supremacy rule to invalidate a state law that discriminated against Japanese nationals UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/lords.parliament.uk?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199364022.001.0001 ER -
