We already have systems like that, whereby the accountability is intentionally so diffuse that no one can realistically be held accountable. Was it the programmers? The people who provided the programmers the specs? The military who set the kill parameters?

Well the answer is everyone on the losing side. How the punishment is carried out would probably be the same as in WW2. Prison time for most, to varying degrees, more severe punishment to main leader, probably limited clemency to the highest ranks so they can work in other countries to pass on their knowledge and skillset.

I speculate
