Perhaps I was a bit too hasty in my wording. Forgive me as this is my first attempt. Upon careful deliberation I, too, have recognized the vagueness of my proposal and now make an attempt to rectify my mistakes. Also, allow me to change "Global" to "International".
Response to:
The Bureaucrat of Kaotica Libertaria: Allow me to clarify as my wording was too broad. The jurisdiction will be on a region-by-region basis and the regions involved would cooperate with each other to bring in criminals. "Global" jurisdiction is too wide. It would be enacted on a global scale, yes, but countries would only interface with bordering countries or allies. These police administrations would not harm the prisoner or carry out sentencing. They will only hold them for countries that the person(s) is involved with to carry away. If a person is accused in multiple countries those countries would have to work something out. This police force would answer directly to the chief of security of the country who would answer directly to whoever else in charge(varies upon region and government) and would eventually lead to the U.N. Everything they do would have to comply with regional laws and customs. If a nation does not want this police force they can choose not to set up their own "global" police force but neighboring countries' internatinal police would still have jurisdiction to pursue, capture, and retrieve internatinal criminals.
The Spokesperson of Septiloptigus: Thank you. That is exactly what I had in mind. Quote by Septiloptigus "What you must remember is that an international police unit would need only to find and capture the offender so that he may be taken to the authorities of the nation whose law he broke. They would simply be bounty hunters under supervision of a governing body. And as for you second point it should be obvious that the UN or some commitee inside it should be in charge of such a force and that it answer to the leaders here. People in the force may have to pass rigorous testing and even be passed off by said committee before allowed in." That's exactly what it would be like except I would'nt use the term "bounty hunters."
The Ambassador of Sophista: I meant "Evil" to mean threatening to the people's way of life because the people make up the nation. The lives of my people are very dear to me and I deem anything threatening them to be evil. As I said before: This will be worked out on a region-by-region basis. This new police force would a) arrest those who are accused of serious crimes under U.N. rules(crimes that fall under the U.N. charter or laws passed specifically by and protected by the U.N.) b) arrest those who are guilty of crimes in the base country of the police. Ex) Someone in my country is selling slaves(slavery is banned in my country) and flees to a nearby country where slavery is legal. That's when the International police intervene. They would go into the country, the country would decide whether or not to help them or remain neutral, they police would capture the criminal (with/without local help) and bring back the perpetrator while respecting and following local laws and customs. They would not impact the surrounding countries in any other aspect. Obviously, they would not go into the other country and arrest everyone who sells slaves(if slavery is legal there). They would only arrest those guilty of the crime in my country.
The Ambassador of Rehochipe: Yes, they may retreat to the less hospitable areas of your country and therefore be out of your hair, but how long until they return. As soon as you turn your back they'd come right back into your country and continue their crimes. Also, after telling tales about how escape was as easy as crossing the border, they might bring back friends who are just as bad or worse.
The Envoy of Laio: These will not be "goon squads", they would be highly-educated, highly-trained, and cultured individuals who would work in pairs or at most teams of 3 or 4. They would not enforce anything upon other nations. They would simply retrieve individuals who have fled from justice.
