Complex humanitarian emergencies have posed a challenge for the ethical project behind traditional humanitarianism. The humanitarian action field is under permanent scrutiny over its motivations, efficiency and impact. Altruism, compassion, humanity and other ethical values have supported the development of contemporary humanitarianism, but something is missing. This thesis is an attempt to understand the roots of the ethical project behind humanitarianism by analysing the concept of vulnerability through the lens of different theoretical frameworks that can add new perspectives with the objective of proposing a new interpretation in accordance to the context of a contemporary complex humanitarian emergency: Venezuela.
