Over 75% of the countries in the UN have acknowledged the State of Palestine as a country. The US's veto alone has stopped the State of Palestine from being approved as a full member state of the UN. If a US president vetoes a law passed by Congress, a 2/3's vote - 66% - of both Houses of Congress is enough to override their veto. Seems there should be more than enough votes to override Israel's ... I mean the US governments... veto in the UN. The US government has turned into Israel's lapdog. The majority of them seem to be racist enough that they are more than willing to support the Zionists - Jewish Supremacists. Racism has no place in America ... especially in the US Government. - United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, adopted on 10 November 1975, "Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination"

there is a way - calling an Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly, which overrides the Security Council, where if a majority of all nations vote on something it gets implemented. It has happened about a dozen times in the past and resulted in many concrete steps including the formation of the UN Police Force (peacekeepers), the UN Command, and direct peacekeeping force action in the Suez crisis of '56, economic & diplomatic sanctions on South Africa in '81. Currently, the ESS on Palestine-Israel and Ukraine-Russia are active but nothing concrete has been proposed yet even though the UNGA is well within its rights to send in a UN peacekeeping force to ensure ceasefire compliance in Palestine/Ukraine.

A lot of resource persons you've interviewed that international law has been critical in the persecution of criminals, especially for persecuting Nazis since WW2. But even then, the Japanese on the other side of the globe got away with it. Some were persecuted in the Tokyo Trials, but most were granted amnseties. Their minister of commerce and munitions even became Prime Minister, Nobusuke Kishi, while his counterpart in Germany, Albert Speer, was imprisoned.

When veto powers exist in a system like this, the criminals can get away with any crime and there's nothing anyone else can do about it through those courts. Which means that the law is meaningless and doesn't apply to countries that those with veto power don't want it to apply to.

I’m not sure if the “hopeful message” at the end makes sense. If a political leader knows that their warrant will be executed when the power dynamic changes, they might accelerate their aggressions in the present to do anything they can in order to stay in power until the end of their lives. Circumstances as well as possible consequences in the future clearly guide human behaviour. No one is simply good or bad. We have to create the environment that makes humans want to act in a way that is beneficial for as many people as possible.
