The International Criminal's Court (under the auspices of the United Nations) recently issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. This is the first time the court has indicted a sitting head of state. It may take a while for this court to try al-Bashir because they don't have the power to actually arrest him and must rely on a member country to carry out the arrest if al-Bashir ever happens to be in their territory (or at least away from Sudan).
The next people in the court's sights? Donald Rumsfeld and George W. Bush. They will begin by investigating their crimes, which include invasion of Iraq and the million deaths there, mishandling Afghanistan, and the authorization of torture. There appears to be enough evidence to proceed with Rumsfeld. No doubt various people in the USA would be glad to help with evidence against Bush.
