The group is active in Katanga province in the south-east of Democratic Republic of Congo.
40 of the rescued children have been reunited with their families and the others are said to be receiving care.
The mission said in a statement that the children had been identified and separated from the militia through the concerted efforts of child protection agencies.
It added that since the beginning of the year, 163 children, including 22 girls, have been removed from the militia.
