Following WW2, the Marshal Islands in the pacific (where the test shots were done) became a US protectorate. By international law the US could use them for anything they wanted. Other countries could complain if they didn't like something the US chose to do... but it would take an act of war to force the US to stop testing if they didn't already want to stop. International law already allowed it.
The last pacific tests were in 1958.
