The WTO case is irrelivant. Courts have repeatedly ruled that such actions are meaningless within the US.

Can you cite any case to back this opinion? My knowledge is that the USSUPCT has ruled that the federal statute or treaty most recently enacted or ratified has priority in the event of a conflict. But I do not know of any case where a federal criminal statute conflicted with an international treaty and the DOJ prosecuted persons under such a statute. The Carruthers case and Neteller case may be cases of first impression on this issue.
