In the Muggle world, when you set foot in another country, you 
come under partial control of the government there.  Extradition 
is a complicated process, and I don't see why it would be any 
less so in the magic world.

And this is in peacetime.  Surely Crouch, authorizer of 
unforgivables, would not have thought twice about capturing, 
torturing, and imprisoning foreign citizens, if they were Voldemort 
supporters.

Letting Crouch, Fudge and Bagman control the TWT might have 
been a traditional courtesy given to the host country by the guest 
countries.
