TAC Mumbai, hosted by SPIL Mumbai at the Government Law College, is a premier, UN-style Treaty Appreciation Competition©️ that brings together students, young professionals, and law enthusiasts from across the great city of Mumbai.

About TAC Mumbai
At TAC Mumbai, participants immerse themselves in a rigorous process that emulates international treaty deliberations. Here, you’ll step into the role of a delegate, representing various nations in discussions on global treaties that shape critical issues—from environmental conservation and climate change to human rights and economic agreements. TAC Mumbai’s unique format combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, equipping participants with an in-depth understanding of international diplomacy and the principles of treaty law.
