Answer&Explanation:

This principle refers to those action which are legally permitted but are also likely to result to severe impact which wasn't initially intended like the death of a person as a side effect of the good action that was actual intended.

For example a doctor may give a patient some pills to relieve stress symptoms eventhough the doctor knows that this may have side effect such as actual shortening their life.

The doctor's intention are not to kill the patient but the death would be a side effect of the good results which are to reduce the patient's pain.

Another example is in the warfare where soldiers may go on a mission that requires that what ever action they take few civilian may get hurt in the process but the intention isn't to kill those civilian but it is a side effects of the good operation of eliminating the legitimate target which may be a threat to a country.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The two countries with the closest land to the North Pole are Canada and Greenland (Kingdom of Denmark).

Explanation:

Geographers generally believe that the closest piece of land to the North Pole is Kaffeklubben Island, which is an island off the northern coast of Greenland. Kaffeklubben Island is located about 430 miles from the North Pole. There are some semi-permanent banks of rock and gravel that might technically be claimed to lie closer to the geographical point. The nearest permanent settlement is Alert in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. The permanent population there however is only 62. There are more people residing in Alert at any given time, but they are there temporarily because they man weather stations and other government and military posts in Alert. It is 508 miles from the North Pole. The North Pole is located in the center of the Arctic Ocean and it is covered with shifting pieces of ice.
