Under normal circumstances (i.e. the country in question isn't occupied, and the crimes to be tried are internal), of course the home country should conduct the trial if they wish. However, when the country has been occupied, the person being tried has a long previous association with the occupiers, the national government is widely perceived to be a puppet regime and the crimes are international in scope, it makes a lot of sense to move the trial to a jurisdiction where fairness can be more assured. This is done in trials in the USA all the time, for charges a lot less serious than conducting a war of aggression (the one with Iran, I mean...)
