I believe the U.S. would have to be signatories of the Rome Statute of the I.C.C.

Crimes against humanity
Crimes against humanity are certain acts that are deliberately committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack or individual attack directed against any civilian or an identifiable part of a civilian population. The first prosecution for crimes against humanity took place at the Nuremberg trials. Crimes against humanity have since been prosecuted by other international courts such as the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Court, as well as in domestic prosecutions. The law of crimes against humanity has primarily developed through the evolution of customary international law. Crimes against humanity are not codified in an international convention, although there is currently an international effort to establish such a treaty, led by the Crimes Against Humanity Initiative.

I'm sure the odds of an international trial of crimes against humanity were infinitesimal as well.
And yet, it happened.

and we're not. We're not signatories most likely to make sure no one tries to ever hold America accountable for it's own human rights abuses.
