The U.S. anti-boycott laws and regulations, however, cover any international boycott not sponsored by U.S. law. According to the Department of Commerce, there are at least 90 countries boycotting at least one country. For example, China and Pakistan boycott Taiwan; Taiwan boycotts all communist countries; Honduras boycotts El Salvador; Indonesia boycotts Angola; several countries boycott Rhodesia and South Africa; India boycotts Nepal, etc. For the most part these boycotts are primary boycotts, i.e., trade embargoes between the countries involved. The U.S. anti-boycott laws do not attempt to restrict primary boycotts. They are concerned with secondary and tertiary boycotts, which the Arab boycott involves. It is clear, therefore, that the predominant interest, application and objective of the U.S. laws are the Arab boycott of Israel.
