War against leaders

Actually, that would be fairly affective if the UN was powerful enough (or had
enough help from the big guys).

Using weapons of mass destruction against populated areas is considered such a
terrible thing that the law requires removing your genes from the gene pool.
You will be executed and all your family (to, say 1st cousins maybe) will be
sterilized.

Which would make the UN a real world police. And what if the bad guy was one
of the big guys?

Not so easy to make your suggestion come true. Just look at the 'succesful'
way Truman or Saddam Hussein were brought to trial, not to mention mass
murderers and tyrants such as Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin or Pinochet.

This would turn the UN into something of a world GESTAPO. Among the basic
human rights there certainly is the statement that you can't be punished for a
crime you didn't commit, i.e. if your cousin is the evil overlord, you might
be punished for helping him, but not just for being his cousin.
