===International human rights law and ballot access===
International agreements that have the status of treaties of the US are part of the supreme law of the land, under Article VI of the United States Constitution:
* International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Art. 25
* Copenhagen Document, ¶¶6–8, Annex I to 1990 Charter of Paris

Another source of international human rights law derives from universally accepted norms that have found expression in resolutions of the U.N. General Assembly. Although the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not binding under US law the way a treaty is, this type of norm is recognized as a source of international law in such treaties as the Statute of the International Court of Justice, to which the US is a party:
* Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Art. 21
