And the mechanism for enforcing war crimes and crimes against humanity doesn't have to be so powerful as to be able to prevent all wars.

What mechanism could there be for enforcing a judgment on a country that won its war of illegal aggression, other than some powerful enforcer nation(s) warring against that country?

I'm not saying there are no alternatives, I'm just asking.

Incidentally, that's exactly what happened when Saddam's Iraq invaded Kuwait.
