So if there would be like a war between two countries, it would be the one to take care of it?

No. When two (or more) countries engage in a conflict, there are certain rules of engagement which are to be followed (as stated in the Geneva Convention). If a country or countries who break those rules, there is some type of trial to determine the punishments.
Ex: Under the Geneva Contention, as a solider, you are not supposed to shoot someone who is displaying a "truce" flag.
So, if a solider did that, then he or she would be guilty of violating the Geneva Convention. And (I don't know the jurisdiction), but the ICC is located in The Hauge.
After World War II, I think Congress held hearings as to members of the Axis powers.
(On a side note) the thing with the detainees at Guantanamo Bay saying the U.S. violated the Geneva Convention. (Which happened like 4-5 months ago or so). The Geneva Convention states that "official" members of a countries military are held to the Geneva Convention.
The opposing force in the Middle East doesn't bear an official military uniform. Which, if my memory serves me right, at least has to have the flag of their country which they don't. So the U.S. believes that they don't have to not obey the Geneva Convention since the opposing force isn't an official military of the foreign countries.
(Besides, it's not as if they were obeying it in the first place.)
