Well, like we do with Russia, we (The US, the west in general) could sanction the hell out of them until they clean up their act. Just sanction their oil sales, crank up production everywhere else to compensate. It would hurt but could certainly be done. Then demand they stop waging genocide on Yemen, and demand they convert from a brutal dictatorial monarchy to a democratic republic with actual human rights for women. Or something like that. We could do all that, but we wont. The reason we wont is that we need Saudi Arabia to wage our (the US', the Wests') wars in the Middle East, and right now they've just lost their play in Syria, and the west is hoping that all those ISIS fighters they've deployed through Saudi Arabia that are leaving Syria will find a home in the desert in SA somewhere, instead of coming to us in the West. So right now, nobody wants to upset them, and so we get a nice show of the hypocrisy of our leaders, who speak of human rights only when convenient, while being friends with a psychopathic serial killer.
