Hi,
I'm trying to translate this sentence into Spanish:
You must realize how futile it is to settle this question by binding us over to keep the peace.
But I'm not really sure about how to translate 'binding us over'.
Can somebody help?
Thanks,
Rafa

obligándonos
For this context, which seems semi-legal, I would translate it as:
Debes darte cuenta de lo inútil que es resolver esta cuestión obligándonos a mantener la paz.
