This explains it:
“Bringing an investigation of war crimes in Syria to the ICC is also complicated by the fact that, according to the Associated Press, “Damascus does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction and the Security Council has not referred the case to the court.” Both Russia and China have twice now vetoed U.N. resolutions aimed at addressing the crackdown.”
