I think they habe p[[lenty of special protection already in the
Registry Agreement:

Specification 5
.
.

5. Intergovernmental Organizations.  As instructed from time to time
by ICANN, Registry Operator will implement the protections mechanism
determined by the ICANN Board of Directors relating to the protection
of identifiers for Intergovernmental Organizations.  A list of
reserved names for this Section 6 is available at
http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registries/reserved.  Additional
names (including their IDN variants) may be added to the list upon ten
(10) calendar days notice from ICANN to Registry Operator.  Any such
protected identifiers for Intergovernmental Organizations may not be
activated in the DNS, and may not be released for registration to any
person or entity other than Registry Operator[A1]  unless Registry
Operator obtains written permission from the Intergovernmental
Organization of interest to release some or all of its listed
identifiers for registration [A2] .  Upon conclusion of Registry
Operator’s designation as operator of the registry for the TLD, all
such protected identifiers shall be transferred as specified by ICANN.
 Registry Operator may self-allocate and renew such names without use
of an ICANN accredited registrar, which will not be considered
Transactions for purposes of Section 6.1 of the Agreement.
