UN is broken, but I'm not sure what other solution will work either.

Of course they won't approve a blockade, weapons sales are a source of hard currency for both China and Russia, plus they don't want to get caught red handed shipping in weapons that are killing civillians.
It was a lucky stroke that the rebels found Chinese Weapons getting shippeed into Libya.
But to be honest, there's no point in running a UN operation without a blockade to starve the enemy of weapons.
I have no doubt that no matter what happens any resolution will be blocked.
