@LesterB99 i think it’s a custom more honored in the breach, so enforcement (against whom penalties are actually enforced) can be quite tendentious. the US refuses to participate, but should ICC go after credible accusations of US hospital bombing, Obama for his drones, etc? those who failed to adequately supervise Abu Ghraib? killed 1/4 NKans? should those who orchestrated Dresden and Tokyo—putting Hiroshima and Nagasaki to a side—have faced some version of justice at Nuremberg?
