That’s not true. Customary international law also applies to states, that are not themselves members of a treaty. In the case of international maritime war and international humanitarian laws this is widely accepted as such.

International laws have no meaning if nations don't agree to it. For example, the United States has laws and policies designed to prevent the arrest of U.S. personnel and its allies by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The 2002 American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA) authorizes the US President to use "all means necessary and appropriate" to release U.S. or allied personnel detained by the ICC, often termed the "Hague Invasion Act".
