Against

Mainly because it doesn't even define what "harm" is in this context. Its upto each nation to choose what "extreme harm" means, and even something that is relatively inert someone could claim is "harmful" by their standards.
 
I'll vote against but obviously will change based on further replies.
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
