Just to set the record straight, not only were u-boat kaleuns not court-martialed for sinking neutral ships, there were several u-boats which sank friendly (German or Italian) ships. Those captains were tried, but every one was found not guilty on the basis of the sunk merchant being either in a restricted area or disguised as an Allied ship to avoid attacks from that direction.
