Not just history. Actual international courts are extremely inconsistent. They are basically a way of judging losers with a little bit more legitimacy then just hanging the enemy king.
War crime charges as they are legally defined could probably be proved about any leader of a country at war, nt just Omar Al Bashir or Saddam Hussein. Almost certainly George Bush (and many other recent world leaders) would at least meet the criteria for trial.
If a domestic criminal justice system functioned like the international one, it would be deemed as non-existent. We just do not have an international system, but we pretend we do.
