Huh? The ITU has been assigning slots in GEO for decades. There's defined minimum distances based on the application parameters (the more directed the ground-side antennas are, the less separation you need to hit a particular signal-to-interference target) etc.
While there are currently no physical "slots" in LEO to my knowledge, the frequency assignments used by LEO constellations are absolutely coordinated by the ITU, and implemented by participating countries, as well.
I was talking more about further iteration of things like the Outer Space Treaty. There is currently very little chance that this will be evolved to systemically handle things like space junk and so on.
The Artemis Accords are the closes, but that's sign up based, much more coalition building then global cooperation.
