Of course there were many who said it's non-binding and can be ignored. Subsequent elections showed it couldn't be ignored and leavers became the majority in parliament.

Well, a non-binding referendum can't be ignored if politicians decide to put themselves in a bind, I suppose.

Do you think that they will hold a non-binding referendum on whether or not to follow International Law?

No. provided there's a deal with the EU, we can forget about obeying the treaty. However, if there's no deal, then protecting the integrity of the UK becomes important.
