Rights of the Accused are addressed by which Article?

When someone is being investigated in the military justice system, their protections are spelled out to ensure due process. Article 31 of the UCMJ provides those safeguards, prohibiting being compelled to testify against oneself and guaranteeing the right to counsel and to have counsel present during questioning. It helps make sure any statements given are voluntary and reliable. The other options cover different topics—general misconduct under Article 134, absence without leave under Article 86, and disobedience of a superior under Article 90—none of which specifically address the rights of the accused during interrogation.
