I'd disagree and instead say that most nation-states prioritize their own aims (e.g. copyright policing, piracy, sanctions) above having a globally-consistent name resolution, where the two come in conflict.
And furthermore, many states prioritize their own economic development above globally-consistent name resolution. E.g. How many English domain names are owned by Liberians?
The trouble with international consensus is that is has to build one something that everyone wants.
... And the closest I could come to that would be a hash-based GUID resolution system. (IOW, something that lacks scarcity)
