Things like the Geneva convention is a good idea but we all know

In a very strict authoritative state with no human rights, ya its possible.

some things require world governance, like cleaning up ocean garbage islands and such, but a global authority? not yet

Though I do like the idea of being able to make sure China keeps their hands of the south China sea, and making sure Israel doesn't colonize the Palestinians out of existence I'm not sure if a world police is a good idea.

Apart from the fact that I don't think it's possible to create a entity out of thin air which is strong enough to be a threat to national governments, should we want to? Who would the world police have to answer to? How could we make sure that the world police doesn't abuse it's power, and starts bothering with things it was not meant to get into?

Make the world police strong enough to take on any single country but too weak to fight a coalition?

I don't think the world police would have to be extremely strong, just enough to be a nuisance. Set up a blockade to enforce trade sanctions, deal with small rogue insurgencies, have a small contingency to oversee wars. They'd have to be fluid and mobile but I don't think they need to be extremely powerful to do their jobs effectively. A countries police forces isn't nearly as powerful as its military, yet the police can still do its job.

>no real power outside of which the countries subjected to it can uphold
It isn't even upheld by signatories. The US simply fought undeclared wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The "unlawful enemy combatants" were therefore NOT Prisoners of War and were not afforded protection under the Geneva Convention.
