Anti-Boycott Resolution of 1993 - Urges members of the Arab League to dismantle the primary secondary, and tertiary boycott of Israel and issue the necessary laws, rules, and regulations to ensure that U.S. firms have free and open access to Arab markets regardless of their business relationship with Israel. Urges the U.S. Government to continue to raise the boycott as an unfair trade practice in every appropriate international trade forum. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the end of the Arab League boycott of Israel is of great urgency to the U.S. Government and will continue to be a priority issue in all bilateral relations with participating states until its complete dissolution.
