Why are so many war criminals tried in Germany?

Why are (seemingly) so many war crimes Tried by Germany? Why aren’t they tried by other countries like the US, UK or France?

To clarify: I’m not talking about NAZI war crimes but crimes commited by Syria for example where there have been a couple high profile trials in the last few years.

I am not sure if the part with “many war criminals tried” really holds up, but in general Germany is part of the International Criminal Court and has several systems in place to persecute criminals even if the crime did not happened on German soil (piracy trials for example).
