If your imposing war crimes tribunals on nations, courage and leadership would be useful, and integrity might help keep the tribunal from being a farce, or being revenge rather than justice; but what you need first is a lot of force. If your talking about countries trying their own people for war crimes, well first they have to believe that war crimes have been committed by their people, and secondly they have to be willing to hold such trials, and third they need evidence, unless your suggesting kangaroo courts. The main thing that would keep the US or Israel from holding wide spread war crimes trials is that unlikely you they don't think that their military actions where themselves or war crimes, or where rife with war crimes. I happen to agree with them and disagree with you on this one.
