Crimes Against Humanity- would you support?

Mataradesh is not yet a member of the UN and, consequently, the following proposal will only be submitted after it is granted admission.

We, the people of the Rogue Nation of Mataradesh, do propose that this measure be taken by the UN: that when a nation commits a 'crime against humanity', defined as deliberate and intentional killing of large numbers of civilians of another country for political or other purposes or otherwise purposefully limiting the exercise of freedoms of the citizens of another country, it should be tried by an international tribunal under UN control in which the information surrounding the incident be presented to the UN at large and the issue voted on as if it were a proposal. If found guilty of having committed such a 'crime against humanity', that nation should be given a punishment, again determined by the UN at large.

Would any other nation support this proposal? Has any such proposal already been submitted? Mataradesh is curious to see the view of other nations.
