The I.C.C. can, but only if your country is a signatory to it. Thank God the U.S. (through President Bush, Clinton wanted it) refuses to sign on.

If you live in one county but have charges against you in a different county, the judge in the county where you were charged has jurisdiction.

Depends on if that person is in this judges ourtroom and facing charges or actions in this judges jurisdiction. YOu can be pretty sure that a judge can't just target you from a distance and tell you what to do, but if you have any business in his jurisdiction he/she can surely tell you what to do then.

If you are in his court, he has jurisdiction. Jurisdictional concerns general fall to law enforcement, but if they actually have you in custody for crimes committed in their jurisdiction, the judge absolutely has jurisdiction at that point.
Now it IS possible for a judge to throw something out because law enforcement were acting outside their jurisdiction, but police who do their job correctly don't force this consideration.

"circumstances" govern, if you find yourself in his court, he'll be making the decisions.
