The 1949 Geneva Conventions require any high contracting party to search for persons alleged to have committed grave breaches and bring them, regardless of their nationality, before its own courts or hand them over to another party for trial.

Yeah, I know sitting leaders are generally considered off limits, but perhaps now is the time to test that.

And if I were in this criminal regime, I wouldn't be keen on travel for fear some party to the conventions could decide they are all accessories and exercise universal jurisdiction.
