Even now, the International Criminal Court can only try people - not nations and everyone involved is dead or will be shortly. The ICC can charge individuals (even heads of state) but only if the nation of that person will allow it and the USA is not a signatory to the ICC. The ICC does not have authority over American citizens unless the US government allows it. The use of bombs on cities was not, at the time, a war crime. No one in the German Luftwaffe was charged or convicted of a war crime for bombing British cities and they were the losers. Whether it is now is a separate question. An atomic bomb is just a bigger bomb. While a huge number of people died from the use of each of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, more died from conventional bombing in other cities. There is no enforceable law against using any weapon in a declared war. Even the use of poison gas is restricted by treaty and there is no real mechanism to convict a nation of breaking a treaty. There is no way to charge a nation with a crime because there is no legal authority higher than a nation.
