War has rules mostly because peace has rules.
If you're planning on interacting peacefully with the other side again, or even being neighbours, you stick strictly to the rules. Argentina and Britain in the Falklands War is my go-to example.
If you're NOT planning on being at peace with the other side ever again, then there is no intrinsic cost to war crimes (other than uniting the other side and making them fight harder.
Sufficiently unaccountable, drug-effected, delusional or narcissistic leadership at times act as though they won't be at peace with their neighbours ever again. This imposes high, complex and quite unnecessary costs on their own countries over time.
Those are the leaders we need to frag, or even better, hang.
