De jure / de facto
De jure is a Latin expression for "according to law, legal, legal, official, official"; De facto, the Latin expression for "according to facts, according to the state of things, in practice, actually," is also referred to as factual. By de facto, a circumstance which is widely accepted and universally acknowledged, although not formally defined as de jure by appropriate institutions, de jure is the legal target state, de facto the actual state. These two terms form an antonymic concept, that is, if only one of the two terms is used in a sentence, the statement has a "... but ..." structure and implies the presence of the other. As a conceptual pair, the two formulas are often used to describe juridical, especially international, and political-scientific facts. For example, a government may be de jure in office, so it was established under applicable law. A de facto government, on the other hand, has no legal recognition.
