It's hosted on servers in countries that don't care about the source of the information so those whose information has been stolen have no legal recourse to stop Wikileaks. It's not just one country either, so it can move around from one place to another - if it gets shut down one place, it can spring up in another. Also there are a lot of people who subscribe to the "information wants to be free" creed and who actively defend the existence of Wikileaks (without regard to who may be harmed by the release of the information - or how accurate the information is)
