I believe that there is. @ZRH?
There is no such thing as international law that exists without the boundaries of mutual cooperation between sovereign states except as pure symbolatry.

Law, for simplicities sake, is a set of mutually adhered to tenets by individual actors.

The United States is only beholden to international treaties which are ratified by congress (practically none of them). Also, in more practical terms, we can always find a reason. As a country we are drowning in lawyers. The power to direct various parts of the Armed Services rests solely in the executive branch so yeah, we can attack people on the president's say so. Whether or not it's popular or a good idea is questionable.
