Germany (Yes, they gave us Nazis, but have been model world citizens since, it seems)
France
Australia
Basically, keep the "superpowers" out of it. A country's size or economic prowess has no bearing on it's ability to judge crimes against humanity. I'm sure China, US and Russia would all cry about it but someone here has to man up to being held accountable, and all of these countries that are ideologically (or really) at war with each other would need to agree to adhere to it without being decision makers. There's really no reason why they should need to be.

I would probably add Japan to the list. I think a country like Brazil could be added as well.
I think in general the criteria would be free, liberal democracies who generally are not at war.
