question for the lawyers and international history experts

In the aftermath of an illegal, fraudulent war of convenience,
at what point does the term "war criminal" no longer apply?
Is there just one "point criminal" bearing the blame, albeit escaping
accountability?

or do those who enabled, looked away, went along and/or followed orders
bear any responsibility?

I know, I know, but just pretend this is 20th century America, if it helps.
I recall something about "just following orders" but Im not sure what that means these days?

war crimes or crimes against humanity. Kissinger should be tried and hanged before he dies and he's getting pretty old.

Chimpy, DicKKK, Rummy, Wolfowitz, Feith, Addington, Condi, Yoo and the rest of the Gang That Couldn't Lie Straight deserve the same.
