Separation of forces, a strictly imposed no fly zone with equal counter battery operations.
Sanction won't do anything and they can't get them passed anyways.
Convening a War Crimes tribunal won't work since the government and the rebels wouldn't recognize it and wouldn't show for it.
Diplomacy won't work either.
The only way to stop chemical weapons is to either prevent their deployment, or physically take them away. So your talking shooting down planes and helicopters and blasting artillery based targets. on both sides. The only way to really stop it for sure it to put boots on the ground to find and deactivate the weapons.
I'm pretty sure that the Russians as well as Iran provided the Syrian's with the program and the weapons to deploy them.
