The Intercollegiate Treaty Appreciation Competition©️ (Inter TAC) is a prestigious event organised by Students for the Promotion of International Law (SPIL) Mumbai during the Government Law College International Law Summit at Government Law College, Mumbai. This one-of-a-kind competition brings together law students from various institutions to participate in a simulated treaty deliberation process, sharpening their skills in critical analysis, public speaking, and international legal interpretation. Inter TAC provides an immersive platform for students to engage in nuanced discussions on global treaties, promoting a deeper understanding of international law and diplomacy.

What is Inter TAC?

Inter TAC is inspired by the dynamics of international diplomatic negotiations and treaty deliberations held within bodies like the United Nations. Participants represent different nations, examining and critiquing treaty clauses, engaging in negotiations, and advocating for their assigned country's interests. This competition simulates real-world treaty discussions, empowering students to explore the complexities of international law, especially in relation to pressing global issues that impact India, such as environmental regulations, trade agreements, and human rights treaties.
