Well now we have to discuss what harm we consider "necessary", and that's where things get pretty tricky.

Anything where the goal is objectively to help the other person. Pain caused by the dentist, for instance. That's technically harm, but it's necessary, and it's objectively helping the person being subjected to pain.

Anything ideology-related (like conversion camps) is unnecessary harm, because ideology (or morality, for that matter) is subjective.

Locking someone in prison is necessary harm - you're protecting other people from the harm caused by the person locked up, and that's an objective fact.

Killing someone in a defensive war is necessary harm - you're the one being invaded, you can either defend yourself or get killed.

To me, it's all fairly simple.
