Well, the European socialists would probably be the US's closest allies on such a court.
I don't percieve the US as being very popular in the world at this particular time. Leaders who do what they think is right seldom are. Just look at your chapter's president, he has to make some tough choices and do what he thinks is right although many people disagree with what he does.
The US is one of the few countries that actually prosecutes our own soldiers for atrocities committed on the battlefield. If anyone thinks these soldiers are going to walk away from this scott-free they are certainly mistaken.
I would, however, accept it if a US military tribunal decided to turn these fellas over to the court.
