But still in other countries such killing would be stated as mass killing of men kind. So therefore is its a wise thing to make a internationale court which doesn't look at political or other things that can blind a right judgement of the case.
And probaly this trial would be give a more wiser and fair judgement than any country can!!
Because the "crime" would be seen in more than one prospective, due to the larger amount of "life wisdom" from all over the world.

The (extremely controversial) politics surrounding the Isreal/Palestine conflict definitely demonstrate that there is very little neutrality in the world, and that the UN is an extremely political (versus moral) body. This is not to claim that there are no morals in the UN, but simply that the political nature of the body can result in questionable statements and positions. I refer you to the UN convention on human rights in South Africa Last summer when Islamic countries essentially stole the show (again) and drove through an anti-Isreal/Jewish resolution, while totally ignoring any wrong doing by Palestinian suicide bombers.
Please note, I'm not saying that Isreal is innocent of all crime, nor am I saying that only Palestinians are guilty of crime, I'm simply showing how politically driven the UN really can be. Do you really want to hand over National Soveriegnty to such a politically driven organization?
