The US has not ratified (and will not) the treaty that would make them subject to the international criminal court. There have been many things the US has done that may well be war crimes but they aren't subject to independent oversight and will never be prosecuted. I think the theory being that the US is a democracy and that the people of the US hold their government to account to do the right thing. Therefore the US can be trusted to prosecute crimes it has committed itself. Assuming the US media isn't manipulated and the government doesn't hide anything etc. Democratic allies from NATO, Canada, Australia and others are subject to the ICC. Its another instance where the US seems to be out of step with the rest of the "western world" and exposes itself to criticism.
