Subject: [time-nuts] UTC and the speed of light?

How is the speed of light accounted for in the definition of UTC?

In other words, how did they solve the conflict where on one hand we'd all
expect two "perfect" clocks to "tick" at the same time but wether they do
depends on the location of the observer?
