English-Finnish translations for borderline

• epämääräinen
• raja
  Tämä tuomioistuin osoittaa meille, että raja reaalipolitiikan harjoittamisen ja sotarikosten välillä ylitetään usein hyvin helposti. This court brings to our attention that the borderline between conducting Realpolitik and war crimes is often and easily transgressed.
  On kuitenkin totta, että on olemassa raja-alueita ja olen hyvin tyytyväinen siitä, että esittelijä on kiinnittänyt huomiota niinkin perustavanlaatuiseen seikkaan kuin armokuolema. However, it is also true that borderline areas exist, and I am very pleased that the rapporteur has pinpointed a fundamental issue, euthanasia.
  Äärimmäisellä rajalla kaikki päättyy.
