Don't be so quick to dismiss the UN. Article 6 of the Constitution says all treaties made are also the supreme law of the land. It is this article that is perhaps the most destructive of our rights. It's right up there with the commerce and general welfare clauses.

Generally it is true that treaties trump laws both state and federal, but a treaty that is in conflict with the constitution is invalid.
Basically in order for our freedom of speech to be eroded, the Supreme Court would have to rule on case law to overwrite their precedent. However no statutory law / treaties can be made to erode it as any conflict with be held in favor of the Constitution.
