I think this is more of a civil case, perhaps the world's largest class-action lawsuit against the US and Chinese governments for damages in the area of >$10 trillion in economic damages, as well as unspecified other damages for emotional distress for relatives of the deceased.
Accepting the blame is not something either the US or Chinese government is interested in, and it's unclear what court could hear such a case. Regardless, the body of evidence points clearly to a Wuhan Institute of Virology lab leak caused by sloppy lab protocols and which involved gain of function research funded by US government agencies, i.e. NIH / NIAID, channeled through Ecohealth Alliance.
