My point is that US policy is to be an obstacle to progress in international law, human rights etc. For instance their non-participation in the discrimination against women treaty makes it even easier for, say, Afghanistan to pass their Shia Family Law. If the US was a party it could take Afghanistan to task with a lot of political force behind it.
