I wonder if they'll ever face a secular court of law.

Historical examples abound.

In the Ardennes in Dec/1944, captured
US GI's were mowed bown by Waffen SS
machine-guns, even though the US soldiers were disarmed and POWS.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't
think the commanding SS colonel was ever convicted during an American court-martial for those crimes after the war.

Neither were the North Korean prison
guards apprehended & tried for beating, torturing and mistreating
US POWS.

The same applies to the brutalizers,
of the captured US POWS in Vietnam.
