Original Note:
The ICC has not indicted Assad because Syria is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and the war crimes were committed inside Syria. The ICC does not therefore have jurisdiction. Israel is also not part of the Rome Statute, but Palestine is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Statute https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/situation-state-palestine-icc-pre-trial-chamber-i-rejects-state-israels-challenges https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court_investigation_in_Palestine https://asp.icc-cpi.int/sites/asp/files/NR/rdonlyres/D3C77FA6-9DEE-45B1-ACC0-B41706BB41E5/281910/BPIsraelPalestineandtheICCMay2011.pdf
