Meh, war crimes mean nothing over here. How many years have we been talking about Warcrimes, and violations of international law. It does not count, only disfavored poor nations’ leaders face these. There’s a good chance they will assassinate some of the ICC people before this is over.
Nuremberg, or the Hague, tries for warcrimes. One reason American foreign policy is so aggressive is because, generally, anything they do outside the US territory is considered legal. There’s one law for Americans, and none for all the rest.
Can America say war crimes. You can’t pardon war crimes can you?
Like Americans are ever tried for war crimes
We literally have a law that says we’ll invade if people try. It’s fucking stupid.
indeed, colloquially know as the Hague Invasion Act, also supported by then Senator Biden

I don’t think it’s ever been tested*, but arguably no, the president can’t pardon war crimes.
They can only pardon “offenses against the United States”.
A war crime isn’t just an offense against the United States but also a violation of international law.
So, a future administration could try to go after these people for the international law violations.
As others have noted, the chances of that actually happening are nil.
*Trump has pardoned war crimes, but no one has yet tried going after the war criminals for the international law violations they committed.
