The Nuremberg codes have not been incorporated into US Code either by legislative action or by treaty. Therefore, there is no legal basis for prosecution.

The Nuremberg code was not incorporated into German Code either.

900,000 counts of manslaughter, perjury, money laundering, treason.

There is plenty of legal basis for prosecution, by tribunal or otherwise.

In the United States, the Nuremberg Code and the related Declaration of Helsinki influenced the drafting of regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services to ensure ethical treatment of human research subjects, known as the Common Rule, which is now codified in Part 46 of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

This was used for the bases of the Nuremberg Trials, so in fact the US signed on to Nuremberg. President Harry S Truman appointed Associate Supreme Court Justice Robert H Jackson to be the chief prosecutor representing the United States in the proposed trials for the European Axis powers. So again the US takes legal action to activate the Nuremberg Trials.
