When any person in a position of authority faces a decision that may harm others, their actions should be guided by several key principles

1. Ethical Considerations. They should weigh the moral implications of their decision, considering what is right and wrong. This often involves evaluating the potential harm and benefits to all parties involved.

2. Duty of Care he have a responsibility to protect and ensure the well-being of those under their authority. This duty should guide him to minimize harm and avoid decisions that could unnecessarily endanger others.

3. Justice and Fairness is Decisions should be made with fairness and impartiality, ensuring that no group is unduly harmed or favored. He should consider how the decision will affect different individuals or groups and strive to achieve the fairest outcome.

4. Transparency and Accountability is Being open about the reasons for the decision and willing to take responsibility for its consequences is crucial. This helps build trust and can provide a rationale for why a harmful decision might be necessary.

5. Consultation and Collaboration is Seeking input from others, especially those who may be affected by the decision, can provide valuable perspectives and help ensure that all viewpoints are considered.

6. Long-Term Consequences  are Consider the long-term impact of the decision, not just the immediate effects. A decision that may cause short-term harm could be justified if it leads to greater long-term benefits.

By balancing these principles, a person in authority can make more informed and better responsible decisions, even in challenging situations where harm might be unavoidable.
