Are you sure? Similar seizures earlier were done from the registry 
operator level who runs the generic tld, verisign in that case

see quote from 
http://domainincite.com/icann-had-no-role-in-seizing-torrent-domains/

    Ben Butler, Go Daddy's director of network abuse, has just provided
    me with the following statement, via a spokesperson:

        It appears the domain names were locked directly by VeriSign. Go
        Daddy has not received any law enforcement inquiries or court
        orders concerning the suspension of the domains in question.

        Go Daddy has not been contacted by ICE or DHS on the domain
        names in question.


The point is ICANN, tld operators and many top registrars all are 
subject to US jurisdiction and will HAVE to to what US Laws seeks of 
them.... So the question of an international treaty raised by Stephane.
