At the same time, humans started a war against monsters simply out of fear and slaughtered thousands of monsters and eventually sealed them away in a hole underground (whether that could be considered mercy on their part is unknown, but they made it possible for anyone to pass through but only leave if they have a monster SOUL so.......) Not to mention that they (once again) attacked and killed a monster (Asriel) when he left the underground with Chara's body because they ASSUMED that he killed them. He wasn't even fighting back, he literally walked away while they mercilessly beat him to death.

What Asgore did may not have been right since those humans were not part of the original war and violence in general leads nowhere, those humans went to that mountain despite knowing the myth that everyone knows about disappearing forever, so part of their fate was their responsibility to begin with. The other part is that the only ones who should really hold trial against him are the parents/guardians of those humans (if they have any/are still alive) as they hold responsibility for them having left(unless they are adults) and even then, some of the humans who fell were hinted at being violent themselves.

Overall, for everything that the monsters went through and the destructive behavior and potential lethality of most humans against monsters in general, Asgore/the monster kingdom shouldn't necessarily be punished on the surface by human legal systems(I mean technically the Underground can be considered a separate country with its own rights since no human owns it and only monsters dwell/govern that area).

The worst they would probably do is make any area not around Mt. Ebott off-limits for monsters for a while until human/monster tension can ease.
