Disambiguation: Generic legal concept (not a person, organization, or specific place). Refers to the legal authority exercised by courts, government agencies, and administrative bodies.
Jurisdiction is the legal authority held by courts, governments, or agencies to interpret, make, and enforce laws within defined boundaries. Derived from Latin 'juris' (law) and 'dictio' (speech/declaration), jurisdiction is rarely absolute and is typically limited by geographic territory, subject matter, or statutory restriction. In federal governance, jurisdiction determines which agency has authority over specific matters; federal agencies exercise jurisdiction over UAP records management pursuant to presidential mandate and National Defense Authorization Act requirements, coordinating disclosure through the Department of War, Department of Defense, and other entities.

Jurisdição é a autoridade legal conferida a tribunais, governos ou agências para interpretar, criar e fazer cumprir leis dentro de fronteiras definidas. Derivada do latim 'juris' (lei) e 'dictio' (fala/declaração), a jurisdição raramente é absoluta e é tipicamente limitada por território geográfico, matéria específica ou restrição estatutária. Na governança federal, a jurisdição determina qual agência tem autoridade sobre questões específicas; agências federais exercem jurisdição sobre a gestão de registros UAP conforme mandato presidencial e requisitos da Lei de Autorização de Defesa Nacional, coordenando divulgação através do Departamento de Guerra, Departamento de Defesa e outras entidades.
