Arab League Boycott of Israel: Basic documents for the Arab League's boycott of Israel can be found in The Palestine Yearbook of International Law, volumes III (1986) and IV (1987-88), both of which have a section called "Special Report: The Arab Boycott Regulations." The original Uniform Law was restated and supplemented in the "General Principles for the Boycott of Israel" (1972), which can be found in Information on Arab League boycott of Israel supplied by the Subcommittee on Multinational Corporations of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (available at the Library of Congress, among other places). The actual implementation of the boycott is found in the laws of the individual countries enforcing the boycott. The U.S. regulations prohibiting compliance with the boycott are found at 15 C.F.R. 760. The U.S. rules are enforced by the Office of Antiboycott Compliance at the U.S. Department of Commerce.
