Mochtar Kusumaatmadja

The concept was altered by Kusumaatmadja to fit in the Indonesian legal environment and became a recurring theme in his writings.

[5] Kusumaatmadja worked briefly at Bank Indonesia's Foreign Exchange Institute before becoming a lecturer at Padjadjaran University.

He also taught in other academic institutions, including the University of Indonesia and the Indonesian Army Command and General Staff College.

Kusumaatmadja himself hoped that the curriculum could produce lawyers that improve the legal system of Indonesia instead of accepting it as it is.

[10] The revival of the Institute of National Law Reform managed to bear fruit in the form of an increase in legal research, workshops, and meetings in Indonesia.

[12] Aside from the archipelago state, one of his hallmarks as foreign minister was his support for cultural diplomacy, a concept aimed at improving Indonesia's image overseas.

[12] The concept was promoted in various ways, such as the First International Gamelan Festival which was held in conjunction with the Expo 86 in Vancouver.

[13] However, other efforts to promote this concept, such as the exhibition of the Asmat tribe art in London and a dance performance by the Mangkunegaran troupe in the same city, were less successful.

[16] Following his death, former state secretary Yusril Ihza Mahendra proposed Kusumaatmadja be made a national hero.
