If you own a trademark, can bring an action to get the domain name that someone else owns?

Lets say I had www.coke.com, Coca Cola does have an avenue that they can pursue to get that domain from me if it is their registered trademark. Stealing trademarked domain names is called squatting, and it is illegal but in most cases the domain owner is forced to turn it over to the trademark owner at the cost of what the owner paid for it.
