White House national security adviser John Bolton on Monday will reportedly label the International Criminal Court (ICC) "illegitimate" in an effort to push back on its plan to investigate alleged war crimes committed by Americans in Afghanistan.

Bolton is poised to make the announcement during remarks to the conservative group the Federalist Society, according to a draft of his speech obtained by Reuters.

Bolton will threaten to sanction ICC judges if the proposal goes forward, the news service added.

Good question but courts here are called criminal courts also. I only know of Los Angeles but probably true in other cities as well.
