They should be put to justice in their own country.
I think there is a misunderstanding in the role of the ICC. ICC's mandate is to prosecute war crimes, acts of genocide and massive deportation. I don't think it has anything to do with what you are talking about.
Even Saddam could not be put to trial under the ICC, since he did not commit war crimes, or genocide after june 2002. (He did before that though, but it does not fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC).
As Canada clearly stated Saddam and his collaborators should be put to trial by a special criminal court under the jurisdiction of the UN (A bit like it was done for Yugoslavia and Rwanada). I entirely approve of Canada's position on this topic.
