I was not using this as an example because I know that is what is
motivating you, and I wanted to use absurdity for my demonstration.

But couldn't be too "light"? Maybe putting a hand of someone breast can
be worth the risk being kicked out the event? Even more if I do not risk
anything by the country law.

That's why I don't like the idea to substitute to local laws.

My proposal would be rather to write a set of rules that each country
has to pass to be eligible to host an event. That would have more sense
IMHO, and will be probably more effective.

Honestly, I can't think of anything.
I even think it would rather be the opposite. :)
