But it has The Council, whenever it unanimously deems it necessary, shall propose new Treaties to supplement and replace the Treaties.

Would the US be an international organization if only the Senate could propose amendments?

But that is under the International Convention on the Law of Treaties, not under its own rules.

So if the International Convention on the Law of Treaties was copy-pasted into the treaties as how the treaties change, would it then be a constitution?

LOL

Another point is that the current arrangement doesn't recognise a single European sovereign entity (the "people of Europe") but rather a number of sovereign entities entering into an agreement.

Would the US be an international organisation if only an assembly of State Governors could propose amendments?

By my definition below it could be.

When I wrote the comment about the senate I assumed that the early senate was an assembly appointed by the State Governors. However, I have been unable to find how the early (pre-election) senators were appointed, so if anyone has a link...?
