TNG's "The Drumhead" shows us that Federation law (or at least Starfleet Military Code of Justice) includes a similar right. Crewman Simon Tarses invokes the Seventh Guarantee when asked about his Romulan heritage.

    It's definitely possible that the Seventh Guarantee wasn't part of the Code of Justice until after this incident, too. Maybe there's a push for it after the United Federation of Planets v. Una Chin-Riley ruling because of the conduct of Pasalk.
