UN controls US forest thinning?

Arizona is one of the states that thinning of the forests, which is a side issue with the new roads and deforestation law is a big deal so i've read a bit on it.

If i understand this correctly, congress is looking to repeal or change some of Clinton's ban on new roads and deforestation - in reality returning the decision making to the state level again. there are a few variations of how this would work floating around with support from different groups.

This article seems to say that it doesn't really matter what the US government decides to do - the UN's ITTA agreement would prevent the US from building new roads and thinning the timberlands.

Is it really a good idea to allow the UN to dictate what we do within our borders?
