The text referring to domain names specifically is in Article 6:

Article 6
Conflicting Domain Names
(1) [Conflicting Domain Names] A domain name shall be deemed to be in
conflict
with a well-known mark at least where that domain name, or an essential part
thereof,
constitutes a reproduction, an imitation, a translation, or a
transliteration of the well-known
mark, and the domain name has been registered or used in bad faith.
(2) [Cancellation; Transfer] The owner of a well-known mark shall be
entitled to
request, by a decision of the competent authority, that the registrant of
the conflicting domain
name cancel the registration, or transfer it to the owner of the well-known
mark.
