| I can't see how somehow claiming that the local laws don't apply in an "Olympic Village" would work. Which set of laws do you think should apply? The IOC certainly doesn't have a full legal code. This isn't like Embassies where it is clear that the law applicable within the Embassy is (in most circumstances) that of the Embassy's country.
Are you suggesting, for example, that at the village for the equestrian events held in Hong Kong it would be OK to burn the Hong Kong flag (something which would be illegal under the HK Law)?
It seems to me that when present as a guest in a country it is incumbent on you to abide by that country's laws. If those laws are unacceptable to you then don't go (or hold your games) there. |
