Telford Taylor quotes

To punish the foe - especially the vanquished foe - for conduct in which the enforcing nation has engaged, would be so grossly inequitable as to discredit the laws themselves. (Telford Taylor)

The laws of war do not apply only to the suspected criminals of vanquished nations. There is no moral or legal basis for immunizing victorious nations from scrutiny. The laws of war are not a one-way street.
