The UK and France are seeking UN backing to carry out air patrols to prevent the leader's warplanes from attacking civilians.
It comes after fresh air strikes on rebel forces as the two sides continue to battle for key towns on the strategically important coast.
A warplane fired rockets near a checkpoint on the eastern outskirts of rebel-held oil town Ras Lanuf, 400 miles east of the capital Tripoli.
Opposition forces in the area have come under fire from rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns.
