Fedora has a code of conduct which begins:
"In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as the Fedora community pledge to collaborate in a respectful and constructive manner, and welcome everyone willing to join us in that pledge. We welcome individuals regardless of ability, age, background, body size, education, ethnicity, family status, gender identity and expression, geographic location, level of experience, marital status, nationality, national origin, native language, personal appearance, race and/or ethnicity, religion, sexual identity and orientation, socioeconomic status, or any other dimension of diversity."
However, Fedora is also sponsored by companies domiciled in the USA: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/export/
If these policies should be in conflict, which one supersedes the other?
I think this is an important question but since the code of conduct is not a "legal" policy (though a former Red Hat lawyer helped draft it) I think it is off-topic for this list and should be addressed instead to the Fedora Council.
