Okay, that's an interesting question.

US CODE: Title 18,2441 relates to War crimes, including those committed by US armed forces personnel or US citizens in any country. It appears to be based on the Hague Convention. I have not read it fully to check its applicability to the case at hand, but it appears from a quick browse of the document that it is of relevance to your question.

US CODE: Title 18,2441. War crimes

Tethys

As a US Code, it would be tried in a US court. The jurisdiction rests there, if the military doesn't try the perpetrator first under it's code of justice. No other court has jurisdiction.
