How come US was never tried for crimes against humanity, they bombed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed innocent civilians - isn't this a war crime?
So, why were they never tried for war crimes?
The issue of whether the bombings constituted war crimes has been debated by legal and ethical scholars for decades. However, the US government has never been formally charged with war crimes related to the bombings, in part because it has never been subjected to the jurisdiction of an international court capable of bringing such charges. Additionally, many argue that the bombings were justified as a necessary measure to end the war and prevent even greater loss of life.
