As I understand, international law would dictate that British expats are able to remain living where they currently do, just as EU migrants living in the UK will be able to remain living in the UK. It would impact future would be expats, not existing ones.
Unless developed nations like France and Spain decided defying international law was an acceptable choice in the vote of Brexit.
Seems to me yet another lie that that the remain camp are peddling to scare people into voting their way. Though if they intend to remain in Spain or France, I don't see how Britain leaving the EU would affect these expats in the slightest, other than potentially a more thorough immigration/customs check at the airport if they visit home.
David Cameron heading up the remain camp is very harmful to it. Proven track record of lying, and now even his claims in the EU referendum debates appear to be being fact checked and confirmed as "lies".

What international law?
I expect any people that are working in an EU country would go on to a work visa kind of system, but if they were to later lose their jobs? There's no laws against revoking someones working visa and deporting them when they're no longer working...

The Vienna Convention 1969 -
This is based on the Vienna Convention of 1969, which says that the termination of a treaty "does not affect any right, obligation or legal situation of the parties created through the execution of the treaty prior to its termination.” The House of Commons Library says that "withdrawing from a treaty releases the parties from any future obligations to each other, but does not affect any rights or obligations acquired under it before withdrawal."
