Is the Sanhedrin supposed to serve as an international court?

Related to this question.

Someone told me today that the nascent Sanhedrin, at one point, held a trial for Achamadenijad for crimes against Israel.

Is the Sanhedrin ever meant to serve as a kind of international court, Hague-style? I was under the impression (no sources at the moment) that its jurisdiction was only over Jews worldwide (in cases that pertain to Jews) and non-Jews living in Israel, outside of that, non-Jews have their own mitzvah of building courts for themselves.

It's an important question

I am a Noahide and would also like to know the answer to this question. As I understand the Noahide law to establish courts, there is no international hierarchy, and that the Sanhedrin would only have authority in Israel. It would be very good to know in these formative years of the Noahide movement. If this is a misunderstanding, let's work to clear this up now.
