Treaties need to be adopted by legislatures, lobby your national executive if you want to influence the text and the legislature if you want to influence its adoption or not.
Also these treaties aren't generally self executing nor enforceable, so you'll also be able to lobby your legislature when they'll be drawing up the implementing acts.

Or when it didn't ratify the treaty that established the International Criminal Court and later withdrew its signature? The EU has teeth, because EU law overrides domestic laws according to the member states themselves. The UN hasn't, because it's an organization of sovereign states. UN treaties are only as strong as the states choosing to enforce them.
