My apologies for using the word "trial," as it is certainly not yet a trial. The case in Belgium is the only one I have found against Sharon.
This is the most recent update I can find on that, from May.

I'm not sure if you (or anyone else) is familiar with it at all, but in any case,
here is the setup for the Yugoslavia tribunal, which may give you an idea as to how an international tribunal works. I don't think the tribunals have to be held in a certain place (as the Rwanda one is being held in Rwanda and Tanzania), though I would suspect The Hague is being used as it is the home of the ICJ. If (and that's a big IF of course) Sharon is ever charged with war crimes, a tribunal would probably be set up in a similar manner. (Though I personally don't think Sharon will ever face one.)
