While not disagreeing with the "a*sholeness" of a Nazi war criminal, I'd disagree here. AFAIK, the average leftover Nazi war criminal is not a current threat - they are living out the rest of their lives in secluded peace. It is thus not in extremis, and there is no justification to violate laws and the principle of sovereignty to arrest him. Remember that Hitler's disregard of sovereignty (albeit along with other factors) was the origin for the invasion of Czechslovakia, Poland, France, half of Russia ... etc.
