In short the ICC is giving Gaddafi one less reason and less hope to hold on to power.
Now there's only need of more ground pressure on Gaddafi controlled territory.

No, what it tells him is: "If you give up we will put you on trial as a war criminal so you might as well fight to the end"
Besides, even if he were to loose power and somehow get it back it wouldn't be by permission of the international community whatever that is.
