What's on all sides today gets right to become UN member? (7)
I believe the answer is:
country
'member?' is the definition.
(member is a kind of country)
'what's on all sides today gets right to become un' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'un' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'coty' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for country that I've seen before include "land?" , "Nation" , "Rural" , "State; region" , "See 9" .)
