The Nazis weren't signatories to the Nuremberg charter, yet they were judged by it. So there is precedent for judging war crimes without pre-existing law.

I'm also not exactly sure how international law works in a world that only has ~~four~~three countries.

Maybe it's like original sin, and any general in the same army that destroyed 25% of the world's nations, is automatically a war criminal?
