An International Court could have a lot of advantages. For instance, countries do seldom try their own citizens for war crimes done in other countries. Even Germany that had several war crime trials against Germans after the last war took a very long time before starting the first trials. There have been Germans sentenced to death in e.g. Italy who lived under their own name unharmed and with an officer pension for decades in Germany.

We need the court especially for war crime trials when the perpetrators live untried in their own countries.
