Extradition solves that. Of course, for it to be really effective, you need an extradition treaty. Without one, you have to stop them before leaving or you're out of luck. Which is absurd. OTOH, Eichmann hid in Argentina until the Israelis snatched him.

I saw the horror that Ahmadinejad says never happened NY Daily News ^ \| September 24 2006 \| GABE PRESSMAN nydailynews.com I am mystified by the words coming from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He says he doesn't believe the Holocaust really happened. And he suggests: "I think we should allow more impartial studies to be done on this." I have visited some of the extermination camps created by the Nazis in World War II. I have seen the mountains of shoes and suitcases and human hair - some of it still smelling from gas. I have seen the furnaces where bodies were burned and the ashes that came from those furnaces. On my first visit to Auschwitz in January 1949, I was astounded by the high-tech apparatus used to kill people. My guide, a former inmate of this camp, told me that, as the Russian Army closed in, the furnaces got too full. They couldn't burn bodies fast enough. So, the former prisoner said, they put them in ditches and burned them there. "This," he said, "is some of the most fertile ground in Europe because it has so many human remains in the soil." And then he knelt and dug in the frozen earth. I knelt beside him. A few inches into the earth we found some chips of bone and a silver filling. I put them in a paper bag, along with a baby's shoe and some woman's hair still smelling faintly from gas. These relics were my souvenirs of Auschwitz. I wanted to take them home to show to anyone who doubted that genocide had been committed there. It crossed my mind, as I watched the Iranian leader speak to the UN General Assembly that he could take a slight detour on the way back to Iran, stopping in Krakow, Poland, and see for himself. If indeed he wants to do some personal research on the Holocaust. I thought, too, of the hundreds of Holocaust survivors I have talked to over the years, including those who streamed into Jerusalem for a special gathering in 1981. Were their stories of horror false? Could Ahmadinejad bear to listen to them? It's been 65 years since the atrocities of the death camps were committed. It is unconscionable that there are still some powerful leaders who deny it ever happened. Pressman has been a journalist in New York for more than half a century.
