Again, as Kadath has pointed out, this is frequently, if not always, because the US has used its veto power to steer the UN away from these issues... If the UN were to seek out every perpetrator of "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" there would be a backlog of America leaders on the docket...
It is also the reason why the US will not sign on with the world court. They will only sign on if they are exempt from being percecuted (ie Justice our way or no way)
