Is the Sanhedrin supposed to serve as an international court?

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.
