    for the inevitable trials that will result

    The UN will want another International Tribunal for this but the mechanism to call one is performed via a security council vote. What they have to do first is make it so politically costly that the US won’t veto it.

    An International Tribunal called by the security council has binding powers above that of the Security Council itself. Effectively once called an international tribunal can ultimately bind the security council to act on its decisions.
