The holes themselves don't radiate it. Particle pairs appear in the vicinity of the event horizon, close enough that one of the pair is pulled across it while the survivor escapes into the Universe. The black hole loses one particle of mass and an outside observer would 'see' the hole apparently radiate one particle. The effect is precisely the same as if the black hole itself was emitting radiation, but the cause is quite different and no physical laws are violated.
