He would be tried if anyone could catch him, which is doubtful. He would be accused of ethnic cleansing because wiped out some of the nomadic tribes of east Asia.
I guess it is all in one's perspective because, while his image in most of the world is that of a ruthless, bloodthirsty conqueror, Genghis Khan is an iconic and beloved figure in Mongolia, where he is seen as the father of the Mongol Nation.

Why do you want to take Genghis Khan out of the context of his time? Back then, you were either a "war criminal" or a victim of a "war criminal". Which would you rather be?
