We may well be in the doghouse as far as international law goes, but despite what she says, there is still a clash here.
The EU Withdrawal Act repeals the international law (1972 European Act) so as far as things here in the UK go, they do need that SI passed, otherwise there will be two sets of conflicting law governing the UK from 11.01pm on Friday.

They need to, because the international agreement only carries force as far as the UK goes, because our domestic legislation makes that so. The very same international agreement that is meant to be repealed on Friday night.
I feel a Supreme Court case coming if that SI doesn't get voted through.
We cannot be governed by two sets of different conflicting laws.
