OK, here’s my take as it applied to US stations.
If you cut through all the verbiage, a “remote operator” is directly equivalent
to the “third party” in a phone patch (remember those?).
When you look at it in that light, the “remote operator” cannot transmit a
message to a station in a country whose administration has not made “third
party” arrangements with the USA. This is waived IF THE REMOTE OPERATOR IS
ELIGIBLE TO BE A CONTROL OPERATOR.
So the test becomes “Is the remote operator eligible to be a control operator
at my station?” If he passes that test, then his location is unimportant, and
he can freely work anyone in a contest. If he is NOT eligible to be a control
operator, then his operation in CQWW would be problematic.
