In the 1970s, the United States adopted two laws that bar and penalize US citizens and companies from participating in other countries’ economic boycotts of US allies. Specifically, the antiboycott provisions of the EAR generally require companies to refuse to participate in unsanctioned foreign economic boycotts that conflict with U.S. policy. While the Arab League boycott of Israel is the principal foreign boycott addressed in the US anti-boycott laws, the laws apply to all foreign boycotts that the US does not endorse including Azerbaijan and Turkish boycott of Armenia.
