In diplomacy, reputational damage is harm to a country's diplomatic relations based on adverse events. Lack of human rights[2] and perceived lack of concern for allied or partner countries[3] may cause reputational damage. Scorecard diplomacy depends on countries wanting to minimize their reputational damage from poor compliance with international norms.[4]
