Nobel Prizes aren't without controversy, and I was wondering if a Nobel Peace laureate has ever been accused of war crimes.
For the purpose of this question, I will accept accusations of war crimes by countries or other international bodies including accusations dating before the peace prize was awarded.

What about asymmetrical conflicts, do you count them among wars? If so, Yassir Arafat (terrorism) and Barack Obama (drone strikes) come to mind.

@chirlu has Obama ever been accused by a country or other international body? As for Arafat, a quick scroll to his Wikipedia page shows it might be an answer, provided you can back up the claim that he has been accused of war crimes. I see some (not sure if formally by a government) have accused him of terrorism, if you use that as an answer please elaborate why that that also amounts to a war crime.

The sitting president of Myanmar has a Nobel peace prize and there are calls for some of her military leaders, including herself (the commander in chief), to be prosecuted for war crimes.
Also: Henry Kissinger isn't an angel as already pointed out in a separate answer.
(Aside: Nobel himself was considered a merchant of death, according to his pre-released obituary, when journalists mistook his brother's death for his own. This incidentally led him to create the Nobel Prize.)

Thanks, are you aware of any accusations of war crimes against the president herself too? You link does say about the she "has overseen the destruction of evidence in Rakhine state and has blocked independent investigations", but I'm wondering if that was enough for any state or international body to accuse her of war crimes as well. Indeed, Kissinger too was accused as a politician, not as a member of the military, so such an accusation could be possible.

@JJJ: Insofar as I'm aware investigations are still ongoing. I'll be happy to update the answer in a few years if you ping me when they're done. But she strikes me as the most likely candidate.
