Individuals should have more rights and more freedoms than nations.
The UN having any such powers is a long way off, for now you get your rights ensured by your country.
Though I don't think they deal with domain names.
The courts, in the USA, have found that domain names are not property, instead they are like telephone numbers: ---------------- The court found that under the California tariffs, rules, and regulations applicable to public utilities, and under the terms of the contracts, the debtors had no “proprietary right in the number.” https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=0a84b472-c89f... Also: ...under Virginia law,…
We may argue that domain names are different from phone numbers because they are recognisable. They carry trademarks, and unlike phone numbers, are often the way we remember of an internet facing person or company. Also, the practical consequences of losing a phone number are much tamer than that of losing a domain name. I'm not sure the courts would hold the same conclusions for domain names and phone numbers. While…

And that's off the top of my head, many of which I haven't heard for 15 or more years.

> Governments have the right to assign to themselves any telephone number they wish, and reserve ranges of phone numbers for themselves, They don't do that after the fact.
> They don't do that after the fact. They have and do. https://voiceofpeopletoday.com/kim-jong-un-orders-change-num... It's unusual for the French government, who has some of the strongest consumer protections on the planet.
Should the French government waste tax money in hiring American attorneys and representing itself? I would say no.

They carry trademarks, and unlike phone numbers, are often the way we remember of an internet facing person or company. This isn't unlike how phone numbers used to be until 10-20 years ago (and still are for many people today, outside of tech circles). Off the top of my head, I can rattle off at least six different phone…

Yeah, I think as soon as he heard any sort of rumblings from those French entities, he would have been smart to transfer away from web.com to a real/first-party registrar. Potentially they would have been less likely to just hand over the domain.
Can you recommend such a registrar? I also had bad experience with Network Solutions / web.com. They seem to blur the distinction between being a hosting company and a domain registrar.
Web.com transfers the france.com they registered for their customer (since 1994) to the government of France without explanation or warning. "on March 12, 2018, Web.com abruptly transferred ownership of the domain to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The company did so without any formal notification to Frydman and no compensation." It is actually just another example proving the warning we have all known/given…
The irony that it was generically named web.com who did this. Why should they keep their name, they don't own the web?
