The Hague Convention of 1899 had several protocols added later which include the ban. The U.S. never ratified that protocol but has been abiding by it willingly because apparently somebody thought ahead and decided that tying our hands may not be the best idea. BTW, in 2010 the Army had already approved the use of hollow points for MPs on bases and such.
