>and put them on trial in a way that US cannot interfere with.

I think that would be near impossible when looking at US laws like the following:

How would this matter if they were tried by counties which are not US allies?

Most countries, even non-allies would not want to be invaded by the US.

Thanks to US we already know how to handle this - there is a plenty of secret locations in various different countries where the perpetrators can be safely tried and then handled according to the sentence.

I doubt the US would take their citizens suddenly disappearing in a country very well either, and keeping it hidden would be difficult. Maybe you could secretly convict a soldier who desecrated corpses or something, but people like Gina Haspel would be nearly impossible without ramifications.
