#1 Well, for starters, deduct the owed amounts from their Foreign Aid, with a nice penalty at, say, the prime rate dating back to when the due date on the taxes passed. Then, for any outstanding amounts beyond that, stop paying any taxes of any kind in those countries and No aid of any other kind, whatsoever, until the debts are paid.

Let's declare something completely new in International Relations: a level playing field.

#2 Good start, .com. How about this? Cut off their water and sewer. They will be in deep sh*t before you know it. That will get their attention.

#6 I have access to a bank account that would pay the Nigerian taxes. If that government will just send me ten percent of the total for fees and paperwork, I'll get right on it.

#8 Open up the sewers in front of the building. Start permanent "roadwork" blocking all access to the building (especially blocking parking access). Cut electrical and phone wires by "accident". Open up the walkway in front of the building, forcing pedestrians to walk on unstable wooden planks in the middle of gaping holes of stinking mud. Send safety inspectors, ready to declare the building unsafe due to fire and sanitation risks.

If they're serious about getting the money, there ought to be ways to send friendly reminders of why the money is needed.

"Just what does Hungary own is NY? All of 5th Avenue?"
If you count hungarian George Soros, they may soon own all of it.

#12 The other option is to simply deduct it from the US payments to the UN with an IOU indicating the remaining can be collected from said cheapskates.
