A symposium on the uses of boycotts in international conflicts was to have been held here November 17-18 under the auspices of European-Arab chambers of commerce but it was postponed Friday until next spring. Organizers gave no reasons.
The planned symposium drew protests from Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Pinchas Eliav, and the Ambassador to Switzerland, David Rivlin, the latter who waged a diplomatic campaign against it. The envoys maintained that the symposium, to which jurist from European countries were invited, was an “academic mask” to justify the Arab League boycott of Israel.
