"The Words That Maketh Murder" is referring to the act of documenting the atrocities, bringing them to light. The concept of justice - like a war tribunal, that investigates "war crimes", judges them and calls them murder. Until this happens they are just acts committed in war, on the battlefield. It's very literal and such a sharp concept. Brilliant song. A gem of an album.
The words that maketh murder alludes to the saying "the pen is more dangerous than the sword". This is because the people who decide whether they will send their soldiers to war or not are the ones with the pens. The sword does what the pen has written it will do.
"What if I take my problem to the United Nations" is ironic, and smugly criticizing that the united nations is actually not there to stop "the words that maketh murder".... she repeats the question, with no answer. Which tells you a lot.

The words that maketh murder, are the words of the soldiers. "I've seen and done things I want to forget"
I would also like to add that war tribunals are incredibly biased to a) the winners of war, and b) to who ever will profit more. It's really not about "justice"
