International doesn't mean unipolar. Effective international institutions are multilateral in nature.

  If you have in mind the kind of international courts that already exist, e.g. the ICC,... well they already exist. I took your emphasis on "effective" to imply that you would like international courts to have substantially more power than presently exists. With enough power to truly be effective, that court would become the unipolar power. It would attract the power hungry like moths to a lightbulb.

    Washington threatened the ICC with serious consequences if it carried out its mandate. Powerful also does not mean unipolar/dominant. Checks and balances can exist. That's how the US government was initially designed.
